My husband has left me for 3 days to work in Liverpool :( Finishing work at 11am, and being home alone, I thought I'd best put some alone time into some creating.

I had some guest books arrive today, and with only one in my portfolio, I set to work on creating a few more designs.

I wanted a Winter theme, so got the cutter and glitter card out again for one design. I matched one of the guest books up against my first monogram invite for Daniella, with a pale green and mulberry rose, And the other two came with what length ribbon I had to choose from. Lol ;)

Here are the photos:

I then set to work on making a First Anniversary card for my lovely 'May Wife' Nikita.

We met through the Wedding ideas forum in 2010 whilst we planned our own weddings for May 2011. Nikita has always been lovely with her kind words so didn't hesitate in asking me to make her a card for her husband Barry. I had a few ideas in mind, then on researching for ideas, Nikita found a card she loved and asked me to do my take on it.

I love this card, it's very vintage feeling but it looks fantastic with one of my newly downloaded fonts.

Here's the card:

Last but not least:

I created yet another fold over invitation. Becky came to me with a gold and ivory colour scheme saying she loved my fold over invitations. I used a dark ivory pearlised card, which makes the insert shimmer gold, and finished the look off with a gold and bridal white ribbon with a wedding invitation tag with heart buckle slider.

This is quite possibly my favourite fold over invitation to date. It oouze's glamour and luxury and I love how it shimmers so beautifully in the light.
